What up family.
how is everyone? im doing well!! today its raining a lot so we havent
done anything fun!! but its all good. This week we are suppose to have
a family of 6 get babtized on the 17th, that should be good. They are
a cool family, they are really weird, but cool. The oldest kid in the
family, we brought to a youth activity that we had last saturday, and
he LOVED it, thats all he talks about. He had a blast with all the
youth and made a lot of friends, and i think even a lil girlfriend,
thats probably why he liked it so much haha, now in all the lessons
that we teach them he pays attention the whole time and is all
interested and stuff, and when he came to church he was all excited
and stuff and was participating in all the classes and stuff. so that
was really a good thing to bring him to it so he can get babtized. but
they dont know if theyre gonna be out of town that day, so ether the
17th or the 24th, but theyre for sure getting babtized. :) then the
other family is suppose to get babtized on the 24th also, that will be
awesome! :) We are teaching a ton of families.
So my shoe is totally destroyed, my foot is always wet. haha whats
the email to the missionary mall? i got a new umbrella also, its soo
bomb, its the coolest umbrella ever!!
Thats sick Buck finally bought a shotgun, is it sick? is it camo or
just black? when are you guys gonna get out and use it? That deer is
from Corner Canyon?? thats so crazy!! To bad we never saw that monster
when we were up there!! I cant wait to get home and just go campin for
a month strait and hunt.
So my boys are doing good then? thats awesome they came over for
dinner! did you guys just invite them or something? I miss them, T has
lost a lot of weight?? And its not like i like soccer now, its just
not as gay as it was before. haha
About the christmas call, i think about 2 on the 25th would be good,
but im also thinking about christmas eve, but i dont know yet. Because
my comp has to call too obviously so we gotta seperate the times, But
would christmas eve be a problem?
How is Nana and Papa? i miss them sooo much!! how Grandma? and all the
cousins and relatives? i cant believe Jahron is going to Atlanta
Georgia!! that is sooo crazy!! is he excited?? What are your plans for
christmas week and eve and day?
Well ill talk to you next week, love you guys

what up family!
How are you guys? im doin great!! the new area im in is cool, its just like la Rita that i was in before. In fact its like 20 minutes away from it, its really close! My comp is way tite, hes from texas. His name is Elder Nelson. Its weird having a gringo for a comp now. The other day i finally got to eat ¨Rice and Beans¨, ive heard about it all my mish but had never tried it before. Rice and Beans is different than just rice and beans, they acutally say RICE and Beans in english to know the difference. Rice and Beans is just rice and beans cooked in coconut milk and like fried kind of, but its only maid on the caribean side because only black people make it really. And our branch president is black so he made it for us yesterday and it was soooo amazing, by far my favorite thing ive eaten here the whole mish. haha
We have a lot of investigators, we had 3 families come to church with us that are awesome, so i hope all 3 of them get babtised this month, we´ll see! In total were teaching about 6 families that are all awesome, theres this one family that im in love with and i know there gonna get babtized. My comp only has 4 more months than i have, so thats weird too.
How was st geezy?? im so jealous, i love thanksgiving down there!! I miss seeing the family and stuff!! and the traditional gun shooting with everyone!! Nana and Papa were down there right? That sucks that brennan didnt go tho!! Thanksgiving was just another day here, we actually forgot it was thanksgiving on thanksgiving day. We were teaching this family and then all the sudden after we were like yeah its the 24th, and after we said that we were like... wow... its thanksgiving!! haha
Oh and also... i lost my camera :( i left it at the bus stop in San Jose, when i was coming to my new area after the change meeting. So im gonna need a new camera also, so if you want to send me one or should i take out money and just buy one? i think the second one would be easier...!! But let me know!! i need a camera before next pday cuz were suppose to be going to a really cool national forest hike thing.
I cant believe Buck sold his bodyguard, but thats sick! tell his he HAS to get the Banelli shotgun, ill be mad if he doesnt, tell him!! I cant believe how sucky your doin on the huntin thing. Get out there for the 15th time ive said it!!

What up family..
How is everything? How is the snow? i bet the deer and elk are starting to come down now that its colder!! Its SO hot here lately... i sweat SO much everyday haha
So this week went well.. we found 8 new investigators and a new family that is awesome.. they are getting baptised and married the same day on the 19th of this month.. we have an appointment with them tomorrow and were gonna try to move up the date to the 12th ;) so were very excited about that! The one family that was suppose to get baptised the last Saturday didn't... it was SO sad, the husband got home one night very drunk and stuff, and they got in a big fight and are now getting separated ;( crazy huh? And also the single lady couldn't last Saturday, but this Saturday is a definite possibility, so hopefully we´ll have a family, and that lady getting baptised this Saturday. But were gonna see.
Its crazy here, a ton of people already have their Christmas lights up and everything and their trees, they love Christmas here! The weird thing is tho, they celebrate it on the 24th, not the 25th. They open their presents on Christmas eve night and stuff.. weird huh? But I'm excited to be in this area for Christmas, the next changes are on the 21st of November, and my comp is finishing the mission and is headed home on that day. So I'm gonna have a new comp in like 14 days crazy huh? i Hate getting new comps cuz you never know what they re gonna be like and stuff, and then you have to get use to the new one all over again!!
So about my Christmas package.. we have a Christmas dinner with the whole mission sometime in December, so you could probably send it like the beginning of December, like the 1st. That should make it in time. And the ipod that i want is an itouch 64gb, so that's why i thought it would be so much but i looked on eBay and you can by it for a lot cheaper, so you guys need to order it off of ebay and put it in my package. I had an ipod but i sold it to another missionary, so that's why i want this one. Please get it and send it to me :) Also you should put some small gifts in it for some of the members or something, just like cool little things, you think of something mom with your creativeness.
You saw kenz mom? i miss her a ton! She needs to write me! So are you gonna go to St George or not for thanksgiving. You guys better, we cant not spend a thanksgiving in st george, its a family tradition. I miss st george sooo much, i always think about it for some reason! its one of my favorite places! Or you guys could buy a cabin before thanksgiving and go chilll there... thad be sick.. haha Which side of the family is the dinner gonna be this year?
Im glad jake is doing better, i miss that guy and i miss joe too! i only think about them, and like all my cousins and uncles and everyone. I cant believe that happened to Sarah tho, what a crazy girl! That's good that Tyler isn't ever gonna see her again!!
Whats up Majerle and Maddi! how are you two? i miss you guys a lot! I'm glad you're finally getting good grades and being good girls!! Majerle, you cant have a boyfriend!!! Maddi you ether! That's so awesome that you had so much fun this year with soccer maddi! i bet you were awesome! i have a member that whats to date you, his name is Alberto, hes 15 and awesome. He was gonna come to the Internet with us so he could write you a lil note but he couldn't.... maybe next time. haha
So the big trip is this week dad? you gonna bag a pronghorn or what? you better!! im soo jealous! ugh!! i am having some big withdrawals!! :(
Well i gotta go.. were headed to the beach right now with the sisters and some members, should be fun, love you guys a lot!!!

Halloween 2011
What up fam,
How is everyone? i cant believe its already holloween... i literally havent even realized that until like 2 days ago that it was holloween. haha I miss the holidays for sure!!! Here they dont really celebrate holloween as much as we do, they think its of the devil. So only some of them really celebrate and get dressed up and everything!! weird huh? I think tonight were gonna go to one of the members house for a holloween party thing. This member is awesome and it's sure be fun, she wants us to dress up and the sister missionaries are coming and her whole family. so im excited haha
So our babtisms bailed on us last saturday:( I was way sad, the one lady doesnt quite feel ready yet, but shes for sure getting babtised this week, and then the family are having some marrage issues so we gotta work with them more and hopefully they can get babtised this week also.
But besides all that, the work is going well and my comp is good and everything.
Thats crazy that youve been pretty much solo this past week dad with the ward. I bet thats for a reason to get you prepared to move up a rank to bishop pretty soon. haha How are all the members? now that i think back at all the wards weve been in and stuff, its sooo cool to live in utah where there are sooo many members. Theres a lot of members in Costa Rica and everything.. its just our ward right now is soo sick in bluffdale. I love how theres so many people and stuff. I realize the importance of having a calling in the ward now. Before i just thought it was kinda stupid to have a calling but its sick. Also like home and visiting teaching, i thought that was way gay before, but its not. haha
Yeah about the ping-pong thing... thats cool and all during the week, but the weekends theres a lot better stuff to be doing... like filling your fetching tags man!!! Get out there, its embarrassing!! Just cuz theres a lot of time in the season left, doesnt mean you should waste it. Just remember that all im dreaming about is hunting, and you are able to and dont even do it!! Has the rut started yet??
Yeah soccer is pretty chill, i like it now, thats all they watch here.. Theres a team here called La Liga, and they are soo cool. And i think Costa Rica beat Brazil just barely, which is good cuz brazil is amazing. And we were at a members house yesterday and guess what i watched for just a couple of minutes... the Dallas game.... :)))) i couldnt resist.. it was too tempting haha but also very sad cuz they fetching lost!!! ugh!! The members didnt understand why i was almost crying over a game.. but oh well.
My clothes are holding up pretty well.. i just dont like the shirts that i have from the missionary mall.. the material is really weird.. I want some different shirts some time, but i could buy those here! Theres no hot water here, the only place i had hot water was in my first area cuz its a lot colder in that area so they actual want hot water. Im still not use to ice cold showers.
My district leader is my comp, this is the first time hes been in a leader posision his whole mission. And also the zone leaders live with us remember!
Yeah thats crazy that Christmas is so soon!! I cant wait to talk to you guys ether!! And yeah we can skype it up baby! I cant believe Braden is gonna have a fregin baby.. thats soo weird!! I cant wait to see her when i get back!
Soo about the cabin thing... you guys didnt answer me... you and buck should go halvsies on it and but a giant one wit a ton of land!!... but in Kansas remember! Oh and dont forget to put 400 dollars in my account so i can buy the iTouch.. thatd be really nice and thanks :) And the blog looks way sick, i like how the link just goes straight to all my pics and everything!!
Well love you guys a ton!! Talk to you next week!!

What up family!
How is everything? Its all good here! I sent the link to you guys to be able to see my pics and everything! Also I'm about to send some pics of the activity that we had Saturday. It was such a fun branch activity. Each organization had to represent a different country, like the young men's represented Columbia, the young women's represented El Salvador, the relief society represented Costa Rica, the elders quorum represented Ecuador, and us missionaries represented China. It was sooo fun!! and each group had there own room in the chapel, the whole week we were decorating and everything. The sister missionaries borrowed some Chinese clothes from a member, me and my comp made a Chinese dragon and we had a presentation where the sisters were dancing to Chinese music, and me and my comp walk in as the dragon, like a Chinese parade.. it was sooo cool haha And the ward mission leader helped us make Chinese food and all this stuff, it was legit. The whole night was awesome, and one of the families we are teaching came to it, so that was a bonus.
This Saturday,we have 3 baptisms, a family and then a single lady. I hope everything goes well!! Were gonna have another activity the 2nd Saturday of November so that will be way fun. The beach was awesome, we went to two different beaches, the one was on pday, and the cooler one we went to a baptism of a different area that the guy got baptized in the ocean. it was way cool! All the pictures are on that link i sent you.
That's sick you finally went fly fishing dad, and actually caught something this time.. haha But are you ever gonna go hunting...fetch I'm disappointed in you!! Get out in the field man!!!! That's sick they're building a sporting goods store so big there... ill probably be spending all my time there when i get back!!
My comp is good! hes just a lil crazy, when hes in a bad mood you just have to get him excited about the missionary work. So about the Christmas package, just some me a ton of good stuff, that calendar, and put a lil more money in my bank account cuz i think i might buy a Ipod touch for me for Christmas... we'll see tho. That's soo awesome that our neighborhood is filling up like that!! I'm excited to see the change.

How is everything? Its all good here! I sent the link to you guys to be able to see my pics and everything! Also I'm about to send some pics of the activity that we had Saturday. It was such a fun branch activity. Each organization had to represent a different country, like the young men's represented Columbia, the young women's represented El Salvador, the relief society represented Costa Rica, the elders quorum represented Ecuador, and us missionaries represented China. It was sooo fun!! and each group had there own room in the chapel, the whole week we were decorating and everything. The sister missionaries borrowed some Chinese clothes from a member, me and my comp made a Chinese dragon and we had a presentation where the sisters were dancing to Chinese music, and me and my comp walk in as the dragon, like a Chinese parade.. it was sooo cool haha And the ward mission leader helped us make Chinese food and all this stuff, it was legit. The whole night was awesome, and one of the families we are teaching came to it, so that was a bonus.
This Saturday,we have 3 baptisms, a family and then a single lady. I hope everything goes well!! Were gonna have another activity the 2nd Saturday of November so that will be way fun. The beach was awesome, we went to two different beaches, the one was on pday, and the cooler one we went to a baptism of a different area that the guy got baptized in the ocean. it was way cool! All the pictures are on that link i sent you.
That's sick you finally went fly fishing dad, and actually caught something this time.. haha But are you ever gonna go hunting...fetch I'm disappointed in you!! Get out in the field man!!!! That's sick they're building a sporting goods store so big there... ill probably be spending all my time there when i get back!!

So about the Christmas package, just some me a ton of good stuff, that calendar, and put a lil more money in my bank account cuz i think i might buy a Ipod touch for me for Christmas... we'll see tho. That's soo awesome that our neighborhood is filling up like that!! I'm excited to see the change.
